It was a quiet night, and there were no animals around.
It's just loess and sand, so it's not surprising.
That's why Luo Chen was puzzled by the appearance of the six-leaf bone.
After all, it's quite strange that this soil, which is far from any village or shop, could cultivate a six-leaf bone.
Of course, what's even more strange is that Mu Shiyu said this saying originally came from the interior of the Northern Frontier.
Luo Chen walked towards the car, holding a torch in one hand and a gun in the other.
After everyone had dinner, Luo Chen told the others to go and rest, while he stayed behind to keep watch.
Of course, the more important reason was his doubts about the six-leaf bone.
In the pitch-black night, where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, Luo Chen could only slowly probe forward with a torch in hand.
From his senses, there were no other abnormalities in the surroundings for the time being.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have brought the night vision goggles." Luo Chen said helplessly. He was so focused on bringing more weapons that he forgot some crucial items.
If he had night vision goggles, Luo Chen would be able to observe the situation more effectively.
Arriving at the car, Luo Chen got in, started the engine, and turned on the lights. He then repeated the same actions on the other car.
"Could it be my imagination?" Luo Chen looked at the brightly lit area, but there was nothing unusual around him. He then got into another car and shone the headlights on the roadside, but found nothing else.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao."
"Who!" Luo Chen got out of the car and saw Wang Er running towards him, panting, carrying a gun.
"What are you doing here? How are they?" Luo Chen asked hurriedly.
Since there was nothing unusual around him, Luo Chen felt relieved.
"Brother Xiao, they're all awake, but Miss Jiang's stomach is hurting a lot. Do you want to go check on her?" Wang Er glanced back at the dilapidated building and continued, "I'll keep watch. Brother Xiao, you should go back and check on her first."
Luo Chen hummed in agreement and started walking back. He then stopped, turned around, and said, "Be careful. If anything happens, just shoot."
Wang Er nodded, picked up his gun, and stared outside.
Jiang Xian'er and the others were in a room on the second floor, which was considered one of the more intact rooms in the entire dilapidated building.
As soon as Luo Chen reached the door, he heard Jiang Xian'er making mournful sounds from inside.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, I'm going to die, I feel like I'm going to die."
Luo Chen walked into the room and saw Jiang Xian'er rolling around on the bed.
Mu Shiyu and Xiao Jiang comforted her from the sidelines, while Lao Tie and the others could only watch from the sidelines.
"You're here?" Old Tie glanced at him and said.
Luo Chen nodded, glanced at Jiang Xian'er, and then said, "You guys go out first. I'm worried about leaving Wang Er out alone."
"By the way, have you all taken your medicine?" Luo Chen suddenly asked. If it really was a problem with the Six-Leaf Bone, then they had to take precautions immediately.
"After eating, you need to detox," Lao Tie advised, putting it somewhat euphemistically, but in other words, you need to poop.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, Xiao, I'm going to die, waaaaah!" Jiang Xian'er caught sight of Luo Chen walking in, and her face, already contorted with pain, became even more distressed.
"Haha." Luo Chen chuckled. "You ate so much in one meal, who else would feel the pain if not you?"
"Oh no, oh no, this, this..." Luo Chen suddenly knelt down by the bedside, his face full of grief.
Jiang Xian'er clutched her stomach, staring blankly at Luo Chen's expression.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Luo Chen turned his face away, sighed, and then said, "Once this Six-Leaf Bone is ingested, it will cause excruciating pain and there will be no cure. Miss Xian'er, you... sigh..."
Mu Shiyu and Xiao Jiang stared blankly at Luo Chen; his acting skills deserved at least a Golden Broom Award.
Unfortunately, the naive Jiang Xian'er had no idea about these things, and she was stunned when she saw Luo Chen's expression.
Then her expression instantly turned sad, and tears streamed down her face: "Waaah, I don't want to die, I haven't achieved my dream yet."
"You big bad guy, please save me! I promise I won't be greedy anymore."
"I, I, I'll let you play with my feet..."
In an instant, Mu Shiyu and Xiao Jiang's eyes flashed like lightning, piercing Luo Chen.
"Young Miss, is this something I can say?" Luo Chen's face was stiff, unsure of what expression to put on. He hadn't expected that this move would backfire so badly.
"Alright, Miss Xian'er, you'll be fine. The poison shouldn't be too strong; you just ate a lot. After you take your medicine and go to the toilet, you'll be fine." The young lady Jiang was still gentle and lovely, finally bringing Jiang Xian'er back to life.
"Really? Miss Jiang, you're not lying to me, are you? I really won't die?" Jiang Xian'er instantly felt the pain in her stomach lessen.
Luo Chen scoffed at this. Sure enough, only menstruation can make a woman know what pain is.
Jiang Xian'er obediently drank the medicine and instantly felt that her stomach pain was not so bad, and her distorted face gradually brightened.
"Xiao Jiang, come out with me for a moment." Seeing that Jiang Xian'er felt much better after taking the medicine, Luo Chen said to Xiao Jiang.
Do you know anything about the six-leaf bone?
Xiao Jiang shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. But you usually don't see six-leaf bones here."
"Oh, is the weather unsuitable? Or is there another reason? Then what about those six-leaf bones that Jiang Xian'er picked during the day?" Luo Chen felt that this thing was not so simple. Regardless of whether someone did it intentionally, he still had to find out what was going on.
After all, Xiao Jiang is also a doctor in the group. Although she is not very experienced, Luo Chen hopes that she can mentor Jiang Xian'er.
"Yes, the temperature difference between day and night is huge here, while the six-leaf bone grows at normal temperature. It is impossible for it to survive in such a large temperature difference. Actually, I felt very strange when I passed by, but I didn't think about it in detail."
Luo Chen sighed, "It's good to have a woman with brains, unlike the one in the room..."
Xiao Jiang leaned against the wall and continued, "After all this commotion tonight, I suddenly remembered that the six-leaf bone is slightly reddish, and its roots are bright red, but the six-leaf bone that Miss Xian'er brought back is not, so it doesn't look like a six-leaf bone. But if you don't pay attention, you really can't tell."
Luo Chen nodded, agreeing that if that were the case, then someone had indeed done it intentionally.
But what is the purpose?
Based on the toxicity assessment just now, this flower is not very toxic at all. If only a small amount is ingested, it can be eliminated through excretion.
Of course, this thing is indeed very lethal to a simpleton like Jiang Xian'er.
"I don't know. If Master were here, he would definitely know. I can't judge." The girl Xiao Jiang was naturally referring to the best doctor in the Iron Wolf Gang, since every gang must have its own doctor.
"It's alright, you're already very capable. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known how it was all about." Luo Chen raised his hand, then lowered it again, showing a somewhat respectful attitude towards physical contact between men and women.
Who are you?
"What do you want to do?"
